Speaking Business Strategies for Introverts

I will be your partner to demystify the numerous moving pieces of the event business, and how to be a successful, paid speaker within it. All of my services are as integral to suit your business goals as you need them to be. You get my strategy, expertise, and abilities for every aspect of your speaking business.

I’m a 15+ year veteran of the conference business, organizing events of many shapes and sizes, from every angle of the business. I’ve worked with some of the biggest names in tech, marketing, and more — and hundreds of amazing smart humans whose names you don’t know. I have that unique unicorn blend of Talent Development, Operations, and Marketing knowhow, with a proven track record of making speakers better at what they do.

Below is a more detailed description of my services.

Most events happening in 2020 are already booking speakers...

...which is reason alone to book an appointment with me TODAY. If you’re fired up and committed to activating your #SpeakerAwesome mission for 2019/2020, don’t dally. Let’s chat!

Speaking Gig Research & Prospecting

One of the biggest challenge areas for speakers — new and seasoned — is keeping up with where the heck to find speaking gigs AND how to get yourself in front of event organizers. Honestly, there’s just A LOT. That opportunity ecosystem alone overwhelms even some of the most seasoned speakers.

I’ll help you:

Identify the types of speaking opportunities that align best with your message and mission

Give you a ton of best practices and tips on how booking within each event type (conference, industry, corporate, etc) typically operates

Help you create a custom, systematic blueprint for scouting and pitching yourself to those event organizers

Help you figure out what to charge for your services, and how to get paid what your time and expertise are worth

I’ll work with you to create an organized, curated, living pipeline of speaking gigs that excite you and best align with your message and the core mission of your speaking business.

And if you have ZERO tech in place to track your asks and opportunities, fear not. I’ll give you suggestions for a tech stack that best fits your needs and comfort zone to run your business.

Proposal Strategy, Writing, & Pitching

There is an art to a well-crafted speaking proposal that makes an event producer want to hire you. I’ve reviewed thousands of speaking proposals, and have helped coach hundreds of speakers on creating compelling speaking proposals and abstracts.

You’ll get my full expertise and talent to do the same for you — including:

Understanding the anatomy of a winning proposal

Templates and scripts custom tailored to your brand

Coaching to help you align each pitch to each organizer’s specific audience needs

And if there’s no open call for speakers or no clear door of entry into an event? I’ll set you up with suggestions and best practices for going through the side door, back door, or parachuting into (metaphorically speaking, of course) those events.

I also offer full service copywriting services if you’d rather hand that off, and options to do all of the outreach for you — involving you (of course) throughout the process .

Presentation Consulting & Design

I work with you hand-in-hand to create a memorable, relevant presentation at each of your booked speaking gigs, including:

The talk itself...

You’ll get full access to my years of expertise helping speakers shape and refine their presentation content — to help you make sure yours is on-point for each audience.

I’ll help you create a scalable system for taking your core presentation content and easily adding pieces (like Batman’s utility belt, but with words) that align your talk seamlessly with a specific audience — so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel for every speaking engagement.

Awesome presentation slides…

Your presentation slides should always accentuate your talk, not compete with or detract from it. You’ll get everything you need to have a slide deck that is on-brand and complements the heart of your presentation message:

My expertise from reviewing and coaching hundreds of speakers on their presentations

Help you optimize and align your social media profiles to your speaking business brand

Full design and development services are also available

Pre and Post-Event

Pre-event, it’s about getting you in the zone and ready for show time and to deliver an amazing talk. I offer you my expertise, strategies, and resources including:

Networking tips to warm up your audience, pre-event

Expert and effective audience engagement strategies and coaching

A guide to making the event organizers and Operations team your BFFs, before you even show up (VERY important!)

Pre-event prep and warm up checklists

Confidence and focus hacks

Flow and peak performance coaching

Balance and wellness coaching

And more! All bundled in a nifty pre-event Speaker Thrive pack.

And after you rocked it, it’s all about creating momentum with the magic you just unleashed...

Easy strategies to get testimonials from attendees and the event organizers

Feedback and communication strategies (giving and receiving)

Tips and best practices to get re-hired and recommended by the organizers

Active recovery and wellness tips to get you right back into flow

And more! Also in a nifty Speaker Thrive kit.

And I, of course, offer full-service concierge services to do this heavy lifting for you, if you’re time strapped.

[Future] Business Development

Working with me, I’ll help you create momentum and develop systems and practices for leveraging each talk into future speaking gigs and other new business/client opportunities.

I’ll help you develop networking strategies that fit your personality type (confession, I’m an introvert. I get it.) to help you identify the best people to connect with at the event, that align best with the purpose and long term goals of your business.

And if you need an assist, I can help make some of those connections for you — before, during, and after the event — setting meetings onsite and offsite on your behalf that perfectly elevate your business development goals.

Many of these services can be rolled into a custom ‘Done For You’ concierge option, for the busiest of people who’d rather delegate the business nuts and bolts to a partner they can trust — and keep their eye on developing their ideas, mastering their speaking art, and making magic with the world.

P.S. Are you a seasoned speaker who’s booking gigs but looking for additional help? Let’s talk. I offer lots of custom and a la carte options for you to eliminate your biggest challenges or bottlenecks and keep you in your expansive genius zone.
